Just as in the first two lessons, I look around indiscriminately and without judgment to apply this lesson. Anything is suitable if I see it. Some things may have emotionally-charged meaning for me (pets? coveted objects? people?). Pay no attention to my "feelings" about anything I choose. Whatever I see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. These are not exercises in judgment.
The point of these exercises is to help clear my mind of all past associations ~ all former meaning I have given ~ to see things exactly as they appear now and to realize how little I really understand about them. It is essential that I keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things in which to apply the idea. For the purpose of this lesson, one thing is just like another; equally suitable, equally useful.
'I do not understand anything I see in this room'. 'I do not understand anything I see on this street'. 'I do not understand anything I see from this window'. 'I do not understand anything I see in this place', etc."
